Hotel Shearwater Hotel & Spa
Marina Point, Ballinasloe, Ireland – Great location - show map
Very spacious cozy room, bed super comfy. Very quiet at night, great breakfast offering. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pool and facilities were spotless as reported by my husband and son, but jacuzzi was out of order. Lovely lobby, gorgeous comfy wing back chairs to relax and have a drink. Well located. We enjoyed our stay.

IrelandNothing beats a pot of tea in the morning but the tall mugs were great - Thanks
IrelandCan not fault this hotel or Staff . Everyone was so pleasant , friendly and helpful. Rooms were spotless. Only critism I would have is that there wasn't a fridge in the room and also no biscuits for Tea facilities
IrelandThe receptionists were very friendly and professional and the bar staff in the main bar and function room bar were fantastic! My room was also impeccable! Great beds and exceptionally clean.
VietnamRoom was very comfortable easy check in And check out
MaltaWe loved the extra touches. We were having a small Wedding party meal after so many disappointments in 2020 this exceeded our expectations and every member of staff we met looked after us in such a professional and caring manner. We felt like the royals. We had lovely desserts and dressing robes to greet us in our rooms which made it extra special.
